1994 Classic Fort Myers Miracle card #1. Pretty cool that he is card 1 in the set! This is one of my favorite card photos. The crossed broken bat pieces shows you just how deadly his fastball is!
Nothing too exciting on the back, stats, logos, and of course the card number. Card number 1! I have a couple of these sets still sealed in the factory plastic wrap with LaTroy's card on the top.
The first one of these cards that I had was from a set that I broke open.
Current total including team sets = 9

1994 Classic Tri Cards #T46
Today we look at the 1994 Classic Tri Card. When I first decided to try and find every LaTroy card made this was one of the tougher ones for me to find. It was on my short list of needed cards for quite a while before I found one. Then all of a sudden I found a few of them and haven't seen another one for sale in a few years. This card features 3 different players and each mini card is perforated in the middle so you could tear them apart if you wanted to. They used good pictures that fill up the space very nicely in my opinion.
The back has a little bio about each players 1993 season. No stats which is a little different but I suppose with the size of the card they were a bit limited on what they could put on there. 1 of 8000 made, I wonder how many of them were torn apart into individual cards.
The last time I saw one of these at a card show was a few years ago. A local dealer had an autographed copy where all three players had signed the card. Of course I had to buy it.
I'm generally not interested in autographs that I didn't get myself but I made an exception for this one. I figured the odds of me finding these 3 guys and getting them to sign the card was pretty slim.
Grand total with the auto = 4

1994 Classic #54
1994 Classic, card #54. This was one of the first few LaTroy cards that I ever had. I remember buying it at Shinder's along with a couple other LaTroy cards and some other Twins cards. They used to have a box of random Twins cards that I would sit and look through and pull out the 25 cent cards of the guys that I liked. At the time I liked this card because it was a minor league card and it had a big photo on the back.
I just think this card has a nice design overall. Good picture on the front with all the logo's and names tucked into one section on the bottom. Big picture on the back with the stats and bio over the top. I like that you can still see the photo under the stats.
Current total = 80
